Changing systems, especially that many licenses, is still a big move, commitment from Oracle or no. I’m wondering if others are moving to Salesforce.com as well. Is this chaos and infighting a boon for them?

But it was probably being discussed already as the largest Siebel customers have been steadily moving away from Siebel for the past two years.

HP’s move is certainly no surprise. The Siebel customer base is increasingly dissatisfied with Oracle’s level of investment in Siebel, the pace of new releases and overall enthusiasm and support for the product. Except for the early adopters at OOW, I’m yet to hear a “we’re waiting for Fusion” come out of a Siebel customer’s mouth.
